My last post had someone comment about how backfill would solve a lot of the issues with leavers and I agree having backfill would be nice because it doesn’t feel like the game is over if someone leaves mid-match.

I’ve been advocating for the addition of backfill to Competitive for quite a while now!

Competitive needs backfill

Having a competitive mode without anything in place to help a team recover from a leaver/disconnect is an absolute travesty. Blizzard needs to add backfill to competitive. If someone leaves or disconnects from a match, then someone else can load in to take their place. Have a “reserves bench” system in place for if the disconnected player reconnects (thus allowing for them to avoid the leaver penalty) and give them the option to rejoin the match at the start of a new map. Make competitive ba…

It really is unconscionable that Blizzard allow a team to be at a disadvantage with 1 or more players leaving in what’s supposed to be a fair and balanced match, especially when there’s an alternative already in game in other modes.

If they truly wanted to maintain that fairness and balance they’d add backfill to Competitive.
